The cure are a band that has inspired each new generation of goth.
The makers of quite possibly the greatest album ever concieved
with Disintegration.
They didn't create Goth but frontman Robert Smith popularised it and is the best example of goth in the 80's. Roberts haircut can be seen in many places with the best known Edward scissorhands.
30 years on and still going strong.

"Its easier for me to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again." The cure's Disintegration. GENIUS!

"It doesnt matter if we all die" One Hundred Years from Pornography. Sadly true.

The best band ever. Not goth. They like messing with your head and your emotions and taking control of your last.fm charts.
People who say that they don't like The Cure haven't really listened to them, as well as retarded people who say they're emo.
You can get REALLY depressed or REALLY happy listening to them.
